Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1914.

Application filed July 18, 1913. Serial No. 779,718.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Jonr: G. MAssoN, acitizen of the United States, and resident of the city of \Voonsocket,in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Dyeing-Spools, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to spools for dyeing, and has for its spool witha tubular body and a series of deep grooves with walls of foraminousmaterial between which the goods may be wound or laidin narrow rows orpiles whereby the liquor may be either forced or drawn through saidwallsand goods to act upon each row independently whereby the passage ofthe liquor through the goods is greatly facilitated and the dyeingeffect ren' dered more uniform. I

A further object of the invention is to provide a jacket or casing offoraminous material adapted to be secured about the loaded spool and toinclose the whole in a suitable receptacle to which means are attachedfor circulating the liquor through the goods.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, as will be more fully described andparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Of the accompanying drawings: Figure 1- is a side elevation showing myimproved spool mounted in position to have the liquor forcedtherethrough. Fig. 2 is a detail showing a side elevation of my improvedspool. Fig. 3-- illustrates my improved spool in section with thematerial to be dyed wound into the grooves of the spool and the jacketor casing around the loaded spool. Fig. 4- is a perspective viewillustrating the jacket or casing.

Referring to the drawings, 10 designates the body portion of my improvedspool for dyeing textiles. This spool comprises a body portion having aseries of deep grooves 11 preferably made in an annular form and thewalls 12 of said grooves. are perforated, that is the material of whichthe body portion is constructed, may be of thin metal perforated orpunched full of holes or, the same may be of wire netting or it may beconstructed of any suitable foraminous material.

The grooves are preferably of a substanobject to provide such a narrowrow of material tially V-shape in cross section, but may be straight ifdesired, whereby the yarn or other material desired to be dyed may bewound or laid therein between the walls in comparatively thin or narrowrows so that the liquor in being forced from the inner side of thetubular body outward will enter these rows from either side thereof andpass through the goods and dye them evenly.-

The body portion of the spool is provided with heads 13 and ll, eitherone or both of which may be provided with an outwardly projecting boss16 each having a central hole therethrough into the interior of thespool which holes are adapted to register with the openings 17 one atthe top and one at the bottom of the receptacle 18 so as to receive theliquor from the pump. when forced thereinto.

After the goods have been wound or deposited in the rooves on the spoolthey are inclosed by a acket, casin or envelop 18 which may also beforms of perforated sheet metal or other foraminous material and may beconstructed in any suitable form to inclose the spool. I have shownherewith the same as being hinged at 19 and provided with suitablelocking or retaining bolts 20 whereby it ma be readily secured about theloaded spool After the yarn or other goods have been wound upon thespool it is placed in a suitable receptacle 25 the boss 16 beingcentered in the opening 17 in the base of the receptacle and securedfirmly in position by means of the binding screw 21 at the top. Asuitable uantity of dyeing liquor is then placed in t e receptacle, thecover secured in position and then by rotating the pump 22 in onedirection the liquor is drawn from the receptacle through the pipe 23and forced back into the center of the spool through the pipe 24 wherebyit is caused to pass outward through the perforated walls of the spooland independently, greatly facilitating the dyeing action of the liquorupon the goods as it is thereby permitted to get at and act upon all ofthe layers and fibers of the goods. \Vhen it is desired the action ofthis pump may be reversed and the liquor drawn through the center of thespool through the pipe 24 and forced back into the receptacle throughthe pipe 23, thereby insuring the action of the liquor on the outerlayers of the material. The .jacket act upon both sides of each andclaims is intended to cover any tubular body adapted to receive, carryand act upon goods in the manner designated.

luy improved apparatus may be used for dyeing, bleaching or any otherpurpose for which it may be adapted.
